Join the Global Celebration of Women and Girls in Chess!
March is a time to celebrate women, and what better way to do so than through chess? Following a strong and inspiring first global Chess Women’s Day Celebration last year, the FIDE Commission for Women’s Chess once again invites federations, clubs, and organizers around the world to take part in this shared initiative throughout March, the Chess Women’s Day Celebration: Visible, Connected, Worldwide. This year’s theme, “Visible, Connected, Worldwide” reflects what we aim to achieve together: increasing the visibility of chess events celebrating women and girls, strengthening connections between local communities and organisers across continents, and highlighting the many fantastic projects happening worldwide. Every event counts. By making these efforts visible and connected, we strengthen their impact and remind each other that we are part of something truly global. Are you planning a chess event in March to celebrate women and girls? Whether it’s a tournament, a mixed or women-focused event, a simultaneous exhibition, a lecture, a workshop, or any special gathering – we want to hear about it! By joining this global celebration, your event becomes part of a worldwide network of activities, all united by a common goal: to bring people together through chess and to make women and girls more visible within our chess communities. The strength of this initiative lies in its diversity – many events, many voices, one shared moment. Last year demonstrated the power of this collective effort. This year, we hope to build on that energy and create even more impact – together.
